About Collective Roots

Vision

Through an innovative and integrated range of programs involving food, nutrition and science education, and community building, Collective Roots will be a catalyst for creating healthy scholars, schools, and communities.

Mission

The mission of Collective Roots is to educate and engage youth and communities in food system change through sustainable programs that impact health, education, and the environment.

Collective Roots achieves its mission through the innovative integration and implementation of two key program areas: garden-based education and food systems change. 

We rely on extensive collaboration and partnership to enable all aspects of our work, and we receive the support of hundreds of volunteers in order to achieve our goals and objectives.
